A set of beliefs to explain life's questions. Religion does not mean Christianity, as there are many different religions, and different ways of following each. Contrary to what some think, religion does not cause wars or fighting, as most religions say that fighting is bad. It is, instead, the inability of people to cope with contradicting beliefs.
Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Taoism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Shintoism are all religions- each has different ways of answering questions such as, "What happens to our spirit when we die?", "Why are we here?", etc.

The true defininition: a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with faith.
Essentially: yes, those people who are religious have caused death, but this is not due to the religion itself. Imagine how many lives have been saved by religion! The reality is that religion is the principle by which all institutions are created Without it, we wouldn't be where we are today.

1)Devotion to and observance of ANY metaphysical belief system
2)serious commitment to something besides metaphysics -- NOTE: religion does not include just Christianity, yet so many people take the subject too personally and too many above posts seem to refer directly (and usually vehemently) to Christianity...makes you think about so-called "free thinkers" who think they're so smart yet seem to be unable to provide correct and objective definitions of "religion".
